One of my resolutions was to join up with blog tours, so far so good!
As for reading: Just continue grabbing up books that I know I will enjoy, and don’t accept all books that authors come at me with. Go with the gut, and not the heart

This year I’m just doing the Goodreads Challenge and the A-Z Challenge (I got so close to finishing last year). I’m trying not to over extend myself, since I know this year is going to be busy. But I completely agree on needing to read more classics! I think I should try and incorporate that somewhere into my reading for the year as well

I made a goal on Goodreads to read 110 books this year. I also made myself a book jar (actually two: one for print books and one for ebooks – I usually have one of each going at the same time) with 90+ titles in them. I made sure to add in classics, so I don’t bypass over any for the new releases I am dying to read.

I did not sign up for any challenges but have set up some resolutions for myself (concerning blogging). I want to focus on requesting only arcs that appeal to me (and not let hype get to me) and read books that have already released.

My 2013 reading resolutions were to read more classics & to catch up and finish all of those series I’ve started, so on the classics part I did good, but on the series I did awesome, so for 2014 my only resolution is to continue with finishing & catching up on series. Although it’s sad when fav series end, it feels good, too, especially when the series get the finale they deserve

I signed up to do the goodreads challenge for 2014. that’s the only thing i committed to bookwise. I do want to try and work on trying to clean off my overflowing bookshelf. I have enough books from previous years to keep me reading for a while.

One of mine is to broaden my horizons a little bit. I read mostly YA, but in the last month or so of 2013 I read a few Adult books, and I really enjoyed them. I am 31 years old, and while I love YA and have no shame about it and will continue reading mostly YA, I feel like I am missing out on some great Adult books. SO, resolution made! Also, to read MY books that I own and try really hard to limit library time. Thanks for the giveaway!

My new years resolution is the same one I had last year. To try and request less books and get my own person TBR pile down. So far I am not off to a great start since I I still have blog tours and whatnot from last year signed up until feb so starting in march, I am going to try and read some older books and new release books that I want.

I hear ya on that. I’m hoping to whittle away at my neverending stack too, and definitely try to cut down on the new books coming in, until I clear out some of the ones I already have. I hope come March it’ll be a little less stressful and you can catch up on the books you want to catch up on

I made some for this year. I have actually stopped reading for the last year and a half when I found out my dad was sick. I lost the passion I had to read. So this year I’m back to reading again and told myself that I will read a whole lot more this year. I missed reading so much!!

I’m so sorry that your dad was doing poorly, and it’s understandable how that could could lessen your desire to read. I hope things worked out in your dad’s situation, and I hope you successfully get back into the reading groove!

Well, joining Goodreads Challenge is a must. And looking back last year, I didn’t quite follow through all the other challenges I joined, so basically no, I didn’t really want to make/join this year. I only join one, that is, the one to read more books on my TBR list. But I challenge myself to start new author and not to bite more than I could chew. I want to read more classic like you, but well, since I started to work this year, I’d prefer the light reading.
Thanks for the giveaway. Goodluck on your reading resolutions!

I entered a bunch of reading challenges this year, but my overarching goal is just to read more than last year and blog regularly about it. I like your goal of reading more classics. There are so many great ones.

I have been in a total reading funk for the last couple of months and I haven’t been reading much. So for my new years resolution I want to read more books that I actually want to read. Books that are fun and not just read to do it. By the way, thanks for the giveaway! =)

I didn’t make any resolutions or goals this year, because I’ve realized with an 18 month old my best intentions don’t always pan out. I just hope that I can read more this year than I did last year.

I didn’t make any resolutions, since I also seem to fail at them. So I made some firm directional changes instead. I plan to work towards better organizational skills on my blog and regarding my reviews. We’ll see if I can succeed.

Non-bookish goal: to start running.
Bookish goal: like you, I want to read more classics. I’ve loved most of the classics I’ve read in the past, but I get overwhelmed with new releases to read that any classics I want to read end up falling to the bottom of my TBR.

I definitely want to read more this year and I also want to read more classics but I feel like I just can’t read them. I would suggest The Giver as one of your first classics you read if you haven’t read it already.

I didn’t make any reasolutions and unfortunately I have been spending more time reading blogs and entering giveaways than actually reading books. I would like to finish several series, such as Covenant, Lux, and Denazen. Thank you for joining the hop!

I challenged myself to read 183 books (about two days per book), but I think it’s also a good idea to try and get more classics into the list this year! Recently I tend to read more new releases than I should…

The only reading challenge I made this year was with Goodreads to read 100 books. I joined challenges last year and I finished them but it didn’t actually alter what I read, I just filled in the challenge as I went. So I figured I’d just skip it this year and focus on reading.

As far as book resolutions go I have only one goal in mind: Read as many books as you can handle without getting reader’s block (which I have been trying to overcome since two months now.) And request only those books for review which will absolutely be read and reviewed and not DNF’ed !

I have the same goal! I really want to be able to know what all of these new YA books are based on. Literature is awesome! I also wanted to spend less time on the internet… that one hasn’t worked out too well for me. 😉

I made a Goodreads goal of 100 books this year. I always have a goal to read at least 1 classic every year and if a book is based on a classic, I often like to try and read it first (like Alice in Wonderland before I read Splintered or Peter Pan before I read Tiger Lily).
